Oyster Bay produces wines from the renowned regions of Marlborough and Hawke&#x27;s Bay.<br/>Producer - Oyster Bay Wines New Zealand Ltd.<br/>Regional Information - The Marlborough region, nestled at the tip of New Zealand&#x27;s South Island, enjoys an extended growing season that helps us to create our extraordinary cool climate Pinot Noir. From the first planting in 1973, Marlborough has matured to produce some of New Zealand&#x27;s best Pinot Noir. The combination of warm sunny days and cool nights make Marlborough&#x27;s climate ideal for growing the famously temperamental grape.<br/>Vinification Details - Fruit is picked from select vineyards to provide blending components for more complexity. After pre-fermentation maceration, grape must is inoculated with yeast cultures. The open ferment is hand plunged multiple times a day and a portion of run off completes fermentation in French oak barriques. After maceration, the wine is pressed off for malolactic fermentation. The wine is then matured for one year and racked prior to final blending. This technique enhances the wine, adding subtlety and vibrancy.<br/>Winemaker - Michael Ivicevich<br/><br/><b>Wine Colour</b><br/>Colour - Red<br/><br/><b>Storage Type</b><br/>Ambient<br/><br/><b>Recommended Storage</b><br/>Storage Type - To enjoy this wine at its best, drink within &lt;&gt; of purchase.<br/><br/>Country of Origin - New Zealand<br/><br/><b>Origin</b><br/>Wine of New Zealand<br/><br/><b>Company Name</b><br/>Delegat Europe Limited<br/><br/><b>Company Address</b><br/>London,<br/> EC4A 1LT,<br/> UK.<br/><br/><b>Web Address</b><br/>www.oysterbaywines.com<br/><br/><b>Return To</b><br/>Delegat Europe Limited,<br/> London,<br/> EC4A 1LT,<br/> UK.<br/> www.oysterbaywines.com<br/><br/>
